Chachi’s

The Verdict

This new joint in Kings Cross is pumped full of so much 80s nostalgia, it’ll give the back corner of your mum’s wardrobe a run for its money (leg warmers we’re looking at you). Chachi’s is Sydney’s newest dive bar and you can find it in Woolloomooloo. 

They’re serving up retro cocktails as well as a couple of naughty burgers to match (we’ll just take one of each thankyouverymuch!). This spot is lit up like to fourth of July, with neon lights and arcade games throughout the entire place, you’ll dead set never want to leave. And why should you? 

This place is fully immersive, which means everything from the food and drinks menus to the décor will transport you straight back to the 80s. Kick the Flux Capacitor into full gear as you perch yourself up on the bar seats amongst the Rubik’s cubes & Polaroid cameras. 

Order a couple of bright blue Socom Sours and sink into a booth seat with your BFFs while you stuff yourselves with jaffles while playing a board game. We would say “finish” a board game, but who has ever actually done that? Team, your Baywatch bodies won’t look quite the same the next day but that’ll teach you for ordering all those Kevin with Bacon burgers, now, won’t it?
